This partitiontable shows data but not the other one
HPFS - NTFS 0 32 33 121600 247 55 1953517568
what should be done? changing geometry pls explain the procedure. is there a manual for that?
I changed the first one to P and tried to write and reboot, did not work. i simply dont understand what must be done.
btw: desaster began when i forgot to switch docking-station form usb to esata(orico 6515 series) after cloning a different drive which has overlapping problem on first and second partition.
so i had external drive on usb3.0(pc has usb 2.0 only). when i saw no data later i panicked attached it accidentally as first drive(both sata-cables have same color....) could have used the third slower channel.. so autochk(run almost 2hrs) messed up partition table.
pls fiona delete or dont start my german thread. i will stay here.

After listing the files i dont see "Write".
used dos-version. drive attached as usb. as sata(second channel) did not work. cannot go through recognition on P4.
Will now try from hirens boot-cd.
How about offering an iso to create boot-cd?

I tried everything, change external case, from docking-station to enclosure. maybe i must use simple usb-sata-adapter?

Tried to write after going back from listing to analyze etc. NOTHING HELPED.
Instructions are unclear. there is no write after listing data.
What will be done with this writing? writing partition table?
maybe i can use a different tool.
Thank you very much for clarifications. i have been spending almost 2 months with this an my other two-booting-drives. one is a clone. people from sysopt.com forum could not help

Christophe, what must be done?
Have now a cloned drive.
Have another systemdrive(winxp) with messed up partition table on partition D. Drive is booting correctly.
will clone that too.
Thank you very much.

your instruction:
"The partition table contains a single NTFS partition that match the disk size.
Run Testdisk, Advanced, select the NTFS partition, choose Boot, RebuildBS, List.
If you see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit"
If i see three partitions all marked D(deleted) what must be done then with them
mark the one with folders as P-primary? what next, display files with p?
I think my clone is now messed up all over, will do a new clean one.

Does this instruction referr to a bootdrive or also external-drive without GPT like mine?
The partition table contains a single NTFS partition that match the disk size.
Run Testdisk, Advanced, select the NTFS partition, choose Boot, RebuildBS, List.
If you see your files, choose Write, confirm, Quit"
- i will now go through all instructions here:http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step

Sorry if i have confused you.
I not only switched the drives but changings were also made on clone using both tools...
its about WD10EZRX(clone)

Did a fresh scan in windows with newest testdisk 7.0
Did what was in the instructions plus what you have told. boot, rebuildbs, List
" If you see your files, choose write, confirm, Quit
After seeing the files here too.
i dont see confirm only quit.
here you can see:

If you cannot run a diagnose under windows, you can you use a Live-CD like Knoppix?
DOS doesn't support long file names, NTFS support to copy data etc..
Might be possible that you get better results!
Knoppix already contain testdisk.
Open the start menu, select Knoppix and root terminal.
Type in su testdisk and repeat your diagnose!
